The Pacific Palisades Democratic Club has announced the opening of a new election headquarters space for 2024, with a soft opening planned for August and grand opening on September 1.
In 2004, PPDC began spearheading efforts to open in-person Westside Democratic Headquarters in Santa Monica, with plans to reopen a WDHQ every presidential election year. This has allowed the organization to partner with multiple area clubs, including the Santa Monica Dem Club, West LA Dems, Heart of LA and more.
“The Pacific Palisades Democratic Club … has come a long way since a group of politically active Palisadians incorporated a local Democratic club in 1953,” according to the club. “We’re proud to have led the founding and running of the Westside Democratic Headquarters, opening brick-and-mortar Santa Monica locations every presidential election year—drawing, training and managing thousands of volunteers to become one of the top-performing in-person campaign centers nationwide from 2004 through 2016.”
PPDC recently announced that the headquarters space has expanded and will open a physical space in Santa Monica again in September.
The headquarters will act as a space to train and equip volunteers, host candidates and ballot proposition forums, host debates, parties and events, and provide a gathering place.
PPDC will host a soft opening on Thursday, August 22, which will also act as a watch-party for Vice President Kamala Harris’ Democratic National Convention nomination acceptance speech. A grand opening event is slated for Sunday, September 1. Both events will take place at the WDHQ, located at 1241 3rd Street Promenade.
